Great news. Cruyff is an Ajax legend, their greatest player ever and I really prefer naming stadiums after club legends. The "Arena" thing seems to be everywhere nowadays. Back in 1996 when Amsterdam ArenA opened, the name was unique, now it isn't.

Although Cruyff is important to Barcelona as for Ajax, we have our own legend. It's just matter of time when Camp Nou will be named after Lionel Messi.

I am a big fan of renaming stadiums after those who affected the club in every way, while Messi is undoubtedly our greatest ever player by far Cruyff impact on the club as a whole was more important. His ideas has changed this club forever

Barça didn't name their stadium after Cruijff and for the same reason they won't name it after Messi, money. It's pretty clear that they want to sell the naming rights for the new stadium.

Wish he was hale and healthy and still around....... We would probably not have witnessed so much of a turbulent period! And we definitely would not have witnessed so many stupid transfers last season!!

Johan was always vocal about decisions going on at this club and he never was afraid to hold back either. He wasn't always right (like how he doubted MSN) but it always helps to have someone from the outside speak for the club when they are doing questionable things. For example, he was very critical about how we didn't sign Toni Kroos and rightfully so.

We don't have anyone like him anymore. Seems like our other legends are too respectful and wont put pressure on these clueless idiots who keep run our club these days.

Johan would be livid if he saw how many stupid decisions we made over the past year and how we allowed Real Madrid to build themselves up to all their glory.

He only was apprehensive of Neymar, I don't remember him speaking against Suarez.

And even that thing that he said against Neymar transfer, we did witness it this season. He did not exactly have a problem with Neymar the player but he had the problem with having two alpha males. We did witness how Neymar is a completely different player when Leo is around and when he is not!
